Drove her to the hardware store, where the carb stuck open and the battery died. Had to call a buddy to come jump me. Good times :)

Worked on drivers door, put sound barrier inside door, put in another door latch, ran new wire from interior cab light to where it plugs in at fuse box. painted Por15 on all internal parts inside door, which would be wing window attachment rod, window guide channel. Cleaned out window channel for all new felts to go in.

Took a little trip in her then came home and washed it in 34 degree weather. Didn't like all the salt and crap all over it.

Here is the trip.

Today, I finally took the advice of a friend and removed the dealer (or factory) overload springs. Everytime I would go over a speed bump, the back end would bounce two or three times off the ground...but thats what a tree leaf overload will do! Nice and smoooooth now!

ryanroo 02-13-2012 11:34 PM

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
removed more paint. tried more bodywork. i need more practice.

Actually haven't done much other than stare at it in the Garage, I don't take it out in the snow I like keeping it on a no salt diet.
So I have just been doing some looking around for some new shoes for the truck, hope to get some before the spring.
What do you guys think about these. Any one seen these on our trucks before.

I just got the pricing back, the wheels are a 16in rim.. they priced out a $194 US. dollars. on the web.
Going to look locally if I can get them.
